Postdoctoral Position At Texas A&M University: Optical Biosensing Laboratory

Postdoctoral Position At Texas A&M University

Department of Biomedical Engineering

Optical Biosensing Laboratory

With

Dr. Gerard L. Coté, Ph.D.

Charles H. & Bettye Barclay Chair and Head

 

The Optical Bio-Sensing Laboratory (http://biomed.tamu.edu/obsl/) focuses on the development of biological sensors and diagnostic systems using optical techniques such as Raman and fluorescence spectroscopy, optical polarimetry, near-infrared perfusion sensing, and particle image/tracking velocimetry.

Our five main projects include:
Glucose Sensing Using Polarimetry
Fluorescent Glucose Implantable Biosensor
Diagnostic Sensor using Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy
Velocity and Shear Measurements in the Lymphatic System
Implantable Perfusion and Oxygenation Optical Sensor

 

At the moment we are primarily seeking a postdoctoral candidate with experience in polarization optics to work on a funded NIH grant toward the development of an optical polarimetric glucose sensor.  It would be helpful, but not required, if the candidate also had training in rabbit animal handling.
